Alaskan Chum Salmon Roe, 1 kg (2.2 lb)

In the cold pristine waters of Alaska, fish develop naturally with a superior flavor and texture. These remarkable fish also produce top quality roe (eggs) that are prized the world over. Salmon ikura, consisting of lightly salted individual eggs, is popular in Europe, Asia and North America.

Ikura has a pleasant smell and a nice color from orange (frozen) to golden orange (after thawing). The flavor is richer than other varieties of salmon caviar. The eggs size reaches 8 mm in diameter. The eggs can burst and form juice, as the shell is not particularly strong.

Red Caviar is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, has a healthy amount of antioxidants and vitamins B12, C, E, and D as well as folate, thiamine, and selenium. One ounce of salmon roe contains 6 grams of protein. Salmon caviar is also an effective aphrodisiac due to its high concentration of vitamins A, B2, B6, B12 and zinc which promote blood flow, especially useful for men.

Salmon roe is an excellent source of vitamins for kids over 1.5 years, something natives from the Tlingit tribe in Alaska make use of since hundreds of years ago. It promotes healthy brain development in children, thanks to the high omega-3 DHA levels, while the omega-3 EPA is needed for an optimal immune and metabolic system.
